Obvioulsy, a few of us will soon be heading off to Holland for the weekend, and I'm sure there are others who feel the urge to cruise across the continent in their VW... ...so check out this handy page on the AA website, to let you know what you need to take... Click here! ;DWe've been out today and purchased a reflective triangle, GB sticker, and a couple of hi-viz vests (one each)...just got to get the little stickers for our headlights, and we'll be sorted! Also got to dig out some documents, such as insurance/breakdown/driving license/Vehicle Reg Doc/E111 etc... ...oh yeah - and the passports!!  |

Tell me you got a bargain? We nipped into White Arches in Rushden today - probably not the cheapest place, but convenient for us. Triangle was £8.95 I think...but I'm pretty sure we took the last one. I'm sure if you went in though, they could order more. Just had a quick look on the t'interweb - and Wickes have them for about £2.50! |

Tell me you got a bargain? Haha, that sounds like quite the experience! I'm sure he was just trying to do his job, and it's a good thing you didn't tell him where to stick it  I'm glad to hear you got a good deal on your triangle. It's always nice to get something for a bargain. Where did you find it? |

for decent old skool metal triangle in a box and a GB sticker.
and I thought we'd try to pack light this time 
is it not just a weekend trip
